[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Intellectually, I know it's extremely common and even to be expected that you will gain weight as you age. I've posted about this before, how the # on the scale really effects me. I don't want to live like this but I also don't know how to be ok with it either. I mean, truly ok. Not just something I would tell other people because I know that's how you're supposed to feel but genuinely feel ok about it.

I'm 5'7 and 122 lbs. I want to be 120 because that's what I've been my entire adult life. But I am having an impossible time getting those 2 lbs. off. I realize how utterly absurd it is to mentally obsess about 2 lbs. I don't want to be this way but I can't make myself stop. The worst thing is that I have children and I would die if I thought any of them felt this way about themselves. I try to hide it as much as possible of course.

How did you convince yourself that it is acceptable to gain weight as you get older? Was it something you read?[/quote]

I think you are wrong that it is to be “expected.”

Diet and exercise will keep excess weight off.

You’re just not trying hard enough.

Get your ass to the gym. Run outside for now.[/quote]
